第8页:多里安(Dorian)
展开多里安(Dorian)
来自德凡特帝国的高贵血系自有它的好处:Dorian出生就有魔法的潜质,这让他成为了同辈羡慕的对象。他富有魅力又充满自信,他的智慧如宝剑一样锋利,而如果有人认为他的行为举止显得高傲,那可以被归于他作为一个强大的法师,生在一个由法师掌管的国度这个原因。确实,Dorian本能成为自己家族的骄傲一一如果他不反对他故土所代表的一切的话。他骄傲地顶着"流放者〃和"贱民〃的称号,他明白如果没有一个拥有像他这样的力量的人站出来并作出改变,人们对帝国的看法大概永远不会改变。
Being from a proud bloodline of the Tevinter Imperium has its advantages: Dorian was born with a flair for magic that made him the envy of his peers. He is charming and confident, his wit as sharp as any blade, and if some suggest his manner cocky, it could be attributed to being a powerful mage in a land where mages rule. Indeed, Dorian would be the pride of his family—if he didn't oppose everything his homeland has come to stand for. He wears the labels of "pariah" and "outcast" proudly, knowing that views of the Imperium are unlikely to change until and unless someone of his ability stands up to make a difference.
[DA]让厄们从头开始吧?你能告诉我们关于多里安的一些事情吗?
[DG]多里安是来自德凡特帝国的法师,他的经历与其他法师截然不同。
[DA]:这怎么说?
[DG]在德凡特,法师来自统治阶级。他来自一个富裕、有权势的家庭,来自那些包办婚姻,然后把他们的小孩培养成完美的法师的家庭中的一个。但多里安拒绝那样的生活。他看到了它所带来的腐化作用,他拒绝接受这种做法,即便这会使他成为一个被流放者。
[DA]你能详细说下他看到的"腐化〃么?
[DG]在不破坏故事情节的情况下,我可以这样说,多里安得到一些风声——关于他的一些德凡特法师同僚计划去做的事情。他决定进行干预。在他看来,德凡特的一些人需要站起来并且说,"我们不同意这些人的所做所为,他们并不代表我们所有人。〃
[DA]多里安被描述成了一个尖酸刻薄的人,即使在非常危险的时候,他也能也能说出各种讽刺的话。你会如何描述他?
[DG]多里安是一个聪明一一也许对于自己的利益过于聪明的人,真的。他出生在一个智慧和机智同时被看重的社会,提升自己的社交能力意味着可以以策略战胜你的同行,这一点他做的非常好。或者说,至少是在他看透这一切之前。他为此疲意,所以很自然地喜欢讽刺。
[DA]你确定没有参与塑造他的这部分性格?
[DG]我倾向于"讽刺〃并以我自己的方式创作。
[DA]多里安也是一个技艺精湛的法师。听起来在战场上非常有用。
[DG]他喜欢使用魔法,不明白为什么他要为此而感到羞耻。所以当他需要的时候会施放他所有的法力...他拥有巨大的法力可以施放,鉴于他来自法师被训练来使用它而不是隐藏它的社会。这包括了强大的元素魔法,以及在德凡特以外的社会嗤之以鼻并认为令人作呕的涉及控制精神和死尸的法术。
[DA]多里安似乎和他的袓国有着矛盾的爱恨关系。他只是想把这一切都抛在身后?
[DG]他不认为德凡特的情况是无法修补的,尽管看起来不可能,对此似乎他个人可以做些事情。多里安有着隐藏在他的喜欢讽刺下理想主义的特征,当世界朝着他所猜疑的那样发展的时候,他自然会更加失望。
[DA]比起你过去所写的角色的,你怎么样看待Dorian?
[DG]多里安是个被遗弃的人——自愿的,但仅仅是因为他不想按照他那个社会所期望的样子去生活来说。有很多方面是我喜欢去探索的,这是我没有机会为其他的角色做的。
[DA]有什么特别的事吗?
[DG]多里安是同性恋--他其实是,第一个我有机会去写的纯粹的同性恋角色。这增加了他背景故事的一个有趣的特点,考虑到他来自一个所有法师都带着"完美〃的标签的地方,所有有异常的事情都是可耻的,应该被隐藏起来。多里安拒绝参与的样子被他的家庭看作毫无意义、固执的表现,这使他的变成一个贱民。
[DA]你对这个角色最终的样子感到高兴嘛?
[DG]我想多里安的这方面会使他在某种角度上成为有争议的人物,但我很高兴加入这一点。它使我能快乐地去书写多里安,这对我而言是一种非常个人的感受。我希望最后玩家能觉得他就是一个真实存在的角色。
[DA]多里安的讽刺必然会在他和审判庭的其他成员间产生一些有趣的玩笑。有什么个人最喜欢的组合是你喜欢的吗?
[DG]我想我最喜欢他和薇薇安的关系。他们是完全对立的,他们会充满敌意的责备对方--或者至少看起来像外人一样。
[DA]听玛丽?科比说了薇薇安的法力,我们不是很确定多里安的举动是否明智
[DG]真的,他们觉得这很有趣,他们会为了团结避免争吵,在尴尬的时刻而去批判其他人--就像斯塔特勒和塞达斯的沃尔多夫,我爱死了。
[DA]有一个库纳利人在周围也会产生一些奇怪的互动。
[DG]多里安和铁牛的关系很有趣。库纳利人和德凡特帝国处于交战状态中数个世纪。但是,多里安和铁牛都不是他们族群中的典型,这使得他们之间的关系显得很有趣。
[DRAGON AGE]: Let's start at the beginning. What can you tell us about Dorian?
[DAVID GAIDER]: Dorian is a mage from the Tevinter Imperium, and his experiences are radically different from those of mages elsewhere.
[DA]: How so?
[DG]: In Tevinter, mages form the ruling class. He comes from a wealthy and influential family, one of many that arrange marriages and raise their children to become perfect mages... yet Dorian has rejected that life. He's seen the corruption to which it leads, and he refuses to play along despite the fact it's made him something of a pariah.
[DA]: Can you expand on the "corruption" he's seen?
[DG]: Without spoiling the plot, I'll say that Dorian got wind of
something that his fellow Tevinter mages were doing, and decided to intervene. As he sees it, someone from Tevinter needs to stand up and say, "We don't agree with what these people are doing. They don't represent all of us." [DA]: Dorian has been described as sharp-tongued, with a knack for producing a great quip even in times of grave danger. How would you describe him?
[DG]: Dorian is smart —perhaps too smart for his own good, really. He was raised in a society where both intelligence and wit are prized, where advancing yourself socially means outmaneuvering your peers, and he does so quite well... or, at least, he would if he didn't see through it all. That's left him rather jaded and sarcastic, naturally.
[DA]: You're sure you didn't play some small part in cultivating that for him?
[DG]: I tend to start at "sarcastic" and work my way from there.
[DA]: Dorian is also a highly skilled mage. That sounds pretty useful on the battlefield.
[DG]: He enjoys using his magic and doesn't see any reason why he should be ashamed about it. So he unleashes his full power when it's needed... and he has plenty of power to unleash, seeing as he comes from a society where mages are trained to use it rather than hide it. This includes powerful elemental spells, as well as spells involving the control of spirit and the dead—things societies outside of Tevinter might turn up their noses at and claim "distasteful." [DA]: Dorian seems to have a conflicted love-hate-love relationship with his homeland. Does he ever think about just leaving it all behind?
[DG]: He doesn't believe that the situation in Tevinter is beyond repair, despite how impossible it seems that he personally might be able to do anything about it. Dorian has a streak of idealism hidden beneath his sarcasm, which naturally can lead him to be all the more disappointed when the world does exactly what he suspects it's going to.
[DA]: How does Dorian compare to characters you've written in the past?
[DG]: Dorian is an outcast—by choice, but only insofar as he chose not to live according to the expectations of his society. There are a lot of aspects to that which I enjoyed exploring, and which I haven't had to chance to do with other characters.
[DA]: Anything in particular?
[DG]: Dorian is gay —he is, in fact, the first fully gay character I've had the opportunity to write. It added an interesting dimension to his back story, considering he comes from a place where "perfection" is the face that every mage puts on and anything that smacks of deviancy is shameful and meant to be hidden. Dorian's refusal to play along with that facade is seen as stubborn and pointless by his family, which has contributed to his status as a pariah.
[DA]: Are you happy with how his character turned out?
[DG]: I suppose this aspect of Dorian will make him controversial in some corners, but I was glad to include it. It made writing Dorian a very personal experience for me, and I'm hopeful that will make him seem like a fully realized character to fans in the end.
[DA]: Dorian's sarcasm must create some rather interesting banter with other members of the Inquisition. Any personal favorite combinations stand out for you?
[DG]: I think I enjoy his relationship with Vivienne the most. They're complete opposites and will tear into each other viciously—or, at least, that's what it looks like to outsiders.
[DA]: After listening to Mary Kirby talk about Vivienne's power, we're not so sure that's Dorian's wisest move.
[DG]: Really, they find it good fun, and they'll go from arguing to banding together in order to criticize someone else in a cold second—like the Statler and Waldorf of Thedas. I love that.
[DA]: Having a Qunari around has also got to yield some strange interactions.
[DG]: Dorian's relationship with the Iron Bull is interesting. The Qunari have been at war with the Tevinter Imperium for centuries, after all, and the fact that neither Dorian nor Iron Bull are typical of their people makes for an intriguing arc.
